Many would consider the juggling act between the foaling barn and the training center to be an impossibility, but Liz Merryman says, for her, it=s the best way to produce a racehorse.

According to a May 12 New York Times article by Taylor Lorenz, one trader reportedly flipped a single "horse" that initially cost $16,000 on Zed Run for $125,000.

A third touted the thrill of being able to churn a "crazy return on investment," and predicted that prices on individual digital equine assets could soon surge into the million-dollar range, matching--and at times far exceeding--the auction prices of real-life Thoroughbreds.

DREAM COME TRUE Beaten three times by Broome (Ire) (Australia {GB}) already this term, Tom Hendron and Finbar Cahill=s Helvic Dream (Ire) (Power {GB}) had been inching closer each time and chose the big occasion to turn it around as he denied that Ballydoyle rival in a thriller for the G1 Tattersalls Gold Cup on Sunday. Benefitting from the heavily rain-eased going at The Curragh, the 4-year-old who emanates from the Noel Meade stable better known for its national hunt runners, travelled smoothly on the inside in mid-division throughout the early stages. Filling the eye with Colin Keane motionless turning for home, the 8-1 shot had dead aim on the 10-11 favourite who had been committed by Ryan Moore approaching two out. Eventually asked to go and win his race, the gelding responded generously to overhaul Broome close home and prevail in a bobber by a short head, with a length back to the G3 Queen Elizabeth S. and Neom Turf Cup winner True Self (Ire) (Oscar {Ire}) in third.

Narrowing that to 3 1/2 lengths next time when fourth in this track=s G3 Alleged S. Apr. 17, he was just two lengths in arrears when second in the May 3 G2 Mooresbridge S. here last time. Colin Keane delivered a masterclass in waiting ride tactics and said, AHe relishes that soft ground and although I wasn=t too sure we=d beat Broome, I did think he=d get a little bit closer. I thought he=d run well at Naas [in the Devoy], but he really disappointed us for whatever reason and the last day I got to Ryan [Moore] and he took off again.

Meade has no immediate plans for Helvic Dream. AHe=s improving all the time and Gillian O=Brien needs special mention here, as she treated him with a Chinese system which releases all the muscles and lets them loosen up. Two days after she=d done him, he was absolutely dancing down the yard. He could realistically be a horse for the [G1] Champion S. at Ascot, as you often get slow ground there which suits him. We=ll have to think about a mile as well.@ Aidan O=Brien said of Broome, AWe were delighted and we=re going up in trip with him now, for either the [June 4 G1] [at Epsom] or the [June 19 G2] Hardwicke [at Royal Ascot].@

"She stood for the cameras. I'm sure she has had a lot of BELLE ARRIVES photographs done over the years and she knows what that is all about. She has paraded so beautifully today. She's got another AT THE BALL day tomorrow and she sells early on Tuesday. Touch wood, everything goes smoothly." Blaxland has spent a bit of time with the Champion mare in the past couple of weeks, keeping an eye on her during her racing campaign in Queensland and getting a better understanding of the vary rare article he will present to the market as Lot 510 early on the Sale's first day on Tuesday. "We=ve seen her a few times in the past couple of weeks while she has been here on the Gold Coast. We filmed her last week. She's got a presence about her like most champions do. It=s been nice to get to know her away from the sales a bit," he said. "When you look at her physically, you can see why she had performed as she has. She's a dominant mare. Ash tells me that she is genuinely a beautifully natured mare, but when she wants to do something, she will do it. Melody Belle | Magic Millions "She's a dominant animal and physically she's got a huge overstep. She's a real athlete. I've heard her described as one of New Zealand's best athletic exports and you look at her by Bren O'Brien physically, and you can see why she has done what she has Whether it be on a racetrack or at a sales ground, Melody done." Belle (NZ) (Commands) leaves those around her with no doubt who's boss. An amazing career on the track On Sunday, as she made the biggest step in her transition from What she has done is build a career record which surpasses 14-time Group 1-winning racehorse to broodmare, the beautiful that of any New Zealand horse in history when it comes to bay mare stepped out countless times to parade as part of the Group 1 successes. Blue Sky Premium Consignment for the National Broodmare Sale In her 41-start career, she has won 19 races, 14 of them at the to both prospective buyers and those just curious for a look at a elite level.

As an early 4-year-old Melody Belle claimed the G1 Tarzino Blue Sky's Julian Blaxland admits he woke up Sunday morning Trophy and G1 Windsor Park S. in the spring of 2018, and then with a few nagging thoughts about how the Champion Kiwi mare would add a hat-trick of New Zealand Group 1 wins in early would handle a new routine, but from the moment she stepped 2019 in the BCD Sprint, the Haunui Classic and the New Zealand into the fray at 8am on Sunday, those worries disappeared. S. "She's slotted right in this morning. I was a bit concerned She would return to create history as a 5-year-old as the first about how she'd settle in. She's a routine animal and Ash winner of the Hawke's Bay Triple Crown, claiming the G1 Tarzino (Handley, strapper) commented that she was a bit confused this Trophy and the G1 Windsor Park for a second time, and then go morning, because she hadn't been for a swim and a walk on to win the G1 Livamol Classic. because that is what she does every day," Blaxland told TDN AusNZ.

Her first Australian Group 1 race saw her defeat a quality collection of mares in the G1 Empire Rose S. at Flemington, while she was only narrowly beaten in the G1 Mackinnon S. a week later. She campaigned in Australia through the autumn and early spring of 2020 before returning home to win the Windsor Park Plate for the third time and then winning the Livamol Classic for the second straight year. Her G1 Thorndon Mile victory in January drew her level with the legendary Sunline (NZ) (Desert Sun {GB}) on 13 Group 1 wins, the most by a New Zealand-trained runner and she then broke new ground with her win in the G1 Bonecrusher S. at Ellerslie in March.

A new challenge She didn't add further to that record with her autumn campaign in Australia, but she lost no admirers and heads to the National Sale as the most highly credentialled broodmare prospect to go to auction in Australia. "We're so delighted to have her here,@ Blaxland said. "She's the best-performed mare to sell anywhere in the world this year. It=s real coup for Magic Millions and for our draft. "You just have to look at her record. She had such versatility and she is so sound. She's just an unbelievable athlete." Backing that up is a pedigree which features some of the most influential names in the thoroughbred world over the past 40 years, with Danehill (USA) and Eight Carat (GB) (Pieces Of Eight {Ire}) through her sire Commands, and her dam, Meleka Belle (NZ) being by the influential Iffraaj (GB) out of a Sir Tristram (Ire) mare. The question which has burned since it was confirmed in March that Melody Belle would sell at this Sale was 'how much?'. The answer for Blaxland is straightforward, whatever the market values her at. "We are fortunate that the syndicate, which has got 34 members in it, has brought her here to sell her. I'm not sure where she will end up, but she will be on the market when she hits the ring," he said.

Big week for Blue Sky While a lot of focus has been on the star of the show, Blue Sky has another 41 fillies and mares to go through the ring this week. That=s quite the logistical challenge for Blaxland and his team. AWe started with five mares four years ago and to think we have got a 14-time Group 1 winner and a bunch of nice stakes mares, I'm excited for the draft. We are just very appreciative of the support we have got from the owners and trainers of these horses," he said. TDN AUSTRALIA/NEW ZEALAND • PAGE 3 OF 2 • THETDN.COM MONDAY • 24 MAY 2021

While there is a palpable anticipation, there has been a sad undertone to Blue Sky's build-up to the Sale, with news that Group 3 winner Li'l Kontra (Krupt) died while in transit to Queensland, something Blaxland acknowledged made it a difficult start to the week.

My wife, Kacy, trains some of them, she would prefer they are not in the Sale," Blaxland said. "I'm sure Annabel Neasham would think the same. She sees a lot of upside in a lot of these fillies like Queen Of Wizardy and Pippa Charlotte. There are some really good opportunities to buy these fillies with good pedigrees and in all likelihood, their best racing is in front of them."
